A custom HO logging / mining road
Frank Neuhaus has been involved in railroading for many years. He has also been an avid model railroader, having worked everything from O to American Flyer S to HO and N. Frank prefers HO because it allows him the full range of scale model projects. His Hidden Valley Lines is a 7' by 4' layout featuring both logging and mining operations. Very little of the road is stock. Frank loves to build everything from locomotives to trackside accessories. He adds his own touches, converting and kitbashing to get that added bit of realism. Here are a few photos of the work in progress
